Grandmother to be Dallas Cowboys cheerleader?

High kicks and splits are not things you usually see grandmothers doing — especially not in a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader costume, but that’s not stopping Sharon Simmons. Simmons, 55, has decided to pursue her dream of becoming a cheerleader for “America’s Team.” She traveled to Dallas from Carrollton, Texas to audition with hundreds of other aspiring Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. While in her early 20s Simmons almost tried out for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad, but her dreams were put on hold when she had a daughter. Now, more than 30 years later, Simmons is once again pursuing her goal of becoming a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. If she makes the cut, she will be the oldest…

Tebow traded from Denver Broncos to New York Jets

Tim Tebow has been traded to the New York Jets by the Denver Broncos. The news comes just one day after Peyton Manning signed with the Denver Broncos. Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer broke the story on Wednesday on Twitter. The Jets traded their fourth- and sixth-round drafts picks in exchange for the young, polarizing quarterback from the University of Florida. The proposed deal brings into question Mark Sanchez’s role as the team’s starting quarterback. The Jets extended his contract less than two weeks ago, quelling rumors that the front office was looking to can the inconsistent Sanchez in favor of Manning. But with Tebow coming to town, talk of a New York quarterback…

Peyton Manning meets Denver, Arizona, Miami

Peyton Manning has been meeting with teams as a free agent following his release from the Indianapolis Colts. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback sat down with Broncos vice president John Elway in Denver on Friday. Though no deal was brokered, a source within the organization called the meeting “productive.” Of course, Manning coming to play at Mile High would add more drama to the already epic Tim Tebow saga, throwing the inspiring upstart quarterback’s future in Denver into jeopardy once again. The results of Manning’s meeting with Arizona Cardinals officials two days later were just as inconclusive. Reports say Manning spoke with members of the Cardinals’ front office and “spent a few hours” with Cardinals receiver…

Randy Moss wants to come out of retirement and play in the NFL again in 2012, the former All Pro wide receiver announced Monday on UStream.

Eli Manning or Tom Brady: pick the elite Super Bowl QB

When Tom Brady and the New England Patriots face Eli Manning and the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, more will be decided than just which team is the best in the NFL. The game should also show who is the true elite quarterback. The controversy began last summer when Eli, answering a question posed by ESPN New York Radio host Michael Kay about his place among the league’s QBs, said he was in the same class as Brady. He took heat for the comment, considering he finished the 2010 season with a league-high 25 interceptions. But now Eli is making his critics eat their words, having led his injury-plagued 2011 Giants team from…
